Why is it suddenly "cool" to hate Jews again?

Whatever happened to "Never Again" after the Holocaust? We should be HELPING Israel protect themselves from the hate and racism that is at the heart of Hamas.

Update:

* "Assailants" rammed a burning car into the gates of a synagogue in Toulouse, in southwest France, Monday (1/6/09) night.

* Jews in the small Strasbourg suburb of Lingolsheim in eastern France awakened Tuesday to find graffiti with words like "assassins" spray-painted on the outside walls of their synagogue.

* Last week in Copenhagen, a 27-year-old Dane born in Lebanon to Palestinian parents is alleged to have fired upon two young Israelis

* In southern Sweden, the Jewish congregation in Helsingborg, was attacked Monday (1/6/09) night by someone who "broke a window and threw in something that was burning," according to police spokesman Leif Nilsson. Earlier, on Sunday (1/5/09) slogans, including "murderers ... You broke the cease-fire," were daubed on Israel's Embassy in Stockholm.

* And Belgium ordered police in Antwerp and Brussels to be on increased state of alert Tuesday after recent pro-Palestinian protests ended in violence and arrests.

I agree with you. Sadly, Jewish people are now & have always been to blame for everything that goes wrong in the world. I'm surprised no one blamed them for Katrina. The world is full of extreme ignorance & hate.

Andi is right, it is legitimate to question and criticize Israel. However, many use the current crisis as an excuse to bash on Jews, which is why you see so many anti-Semitic questions being posted. For example, I just answered a post from a guy saying that the Talmud says Gentiles are non-human. Or others who take the time to blame the Jews for everything, from the Atlantic slave trade to their own Holocaust.

It's sad really. There is a difference between a Jew a Zionist and an Israeli but some conveniently ignore that fact. Blaming all Jews for anything Israel does is like blaming all Muslims for Darfur. People are ignorant.

Ermmm, is it?! Jewish people are not responsible for the atrocities taking place in Gaza, the government of Israel is responsible. It is unfortunate that people cannot differentiate between the two, just as some people categorise all people of the muslim faith to be suicide bombers or 'non believers' to be infidels its just plain ignorance. We should not be helping Israel to protect themselves from hate&racism we should be helping Jews to protect themselves just as we should help muslims, christians, atheists,hindus....the list goes on.

With regards to the Holocaust of course it should never happen again but, it is ISRAEL which is the culprit not the jews, not the palestinians but Israel. I dont see comparable suffering of Israelis as I did the holocaust victims. Maybe think your assumptions through a little more.

There is a difference between "Jews" and "Zionism". why were the jews hated across all decades all over the world? what caused the holocaust? why did the jews of NY protested against Israel some days ago...

It is not "cool to hate jews"! It is legitimate to question and challenge the actions of the Israeli army and to criticise their governments policies and strategies in relation to the disputed territory that is Gaza.

It is disingenuous to suggest such criticism equates with antisemitism.
